Many of travel for the sake of traveling some of us travel for the love of traveling.According to the famous author, travelogue writer and a playwright Hans Christian Andersen, he says “To Travel is to live.” Travelling can create some very lasting memories and friendships and can help us understand a culture in a much better manner. Traveling together has its own benefits but traveling alone is a thrill reserved only for the people who are brave enough venture into it. It has its own perks to it which will be explained below

Freedom unbound

You have a complete command over what you want to do, and there is nobody stopping you from doing it, you can go as crazy as you want and also be as moody as you want and nobody will judge you for it and make your holiday miserable by nagging about you being lazy and forcing you into doing something you do not like doing at any given time.

Opportunity to become a friend magnet:

When you are on your own you will be forced to depend on other rather than on your own decisions; thus we will be forced to make many friends and get to become close to them and learn about them and vice versa, in doing this we get to learn about their culture, and they about you’re culture, and thus we would have made a lot of friend by the end of the day .

Confidence booster.

When we are to travel on our own we have to trust a lot of times on our instincts and our guts to take a particular decision and move on with it, thus we start to develop confidence in ourselves and learn to rely on ourselves rather than to rely on others for help, and we will also develop the added benefit of analytics which we get as we analyze a particular situation and take our decisions accordingly .

Ace various languages.

When you are traveling alone, you get the wonderful opportunity of getting to learn many languages and gain insight into how people in other parts of the world are communicating and get various nuances of accents of a particular language, and various cultural reference which will give a very heightened experience of traveling alone .

Cost-effective

It is very cost effective when you are travelling alone, as you wouldn’t have to worry about getting to places, and thinking about the costs as you might have to think about the company of people along with you as might have to pay for everyone.

Chase after you’re projects .

When you are travelling alone pursue your project and wouldn’t have to give a second thought about and take all the time in the world that you want to have for it and wouldn’t have to be answerable to anyone .

The above-given reason is more than convincing why a person traveling alone is much better than travelling together with other people.

“Travel” just the mere thought of it gives us the chills and thrills. For some it’s a hobby for some it’s a passion, and for some, it’s a stress buster. It is one of the very few things that have various perspectives. Wanting to explore new places has always been the very common thing in human nature. But there are very few people out there who go for it. It doesn’t matter if it is just travel for 100 kilometers or travel halfway around the world every trip always has something new to offer.

As mentioned earlier people have various agendas when it comes to travel. Some travel to explore the particular destination, some for the trip for learning something new and there are also cases where people travel only to explore the local cuisine.

LEARNING
